I think this needs to be implemented as a separate, non-automatic action.
Using algorithms that will depend on remote servers shouldn't be part of 
normal checking.
Instead, I can imagine one wizard on res.partner that will say "Validate VAT 
numbers", be able to run on multiple res.partners and do the checking you 
suggest.
Then, we could store a boolean flag on our db, whether this number has been 
cross-checked with the authorities (as above).

Title:
  base_vat - belgium - new checksum method

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just learned that Belgium has changed the VAT number adding a 0
  (zero)  as 3. digit

  IMHO we should provide a method to send an automatic request to
  http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/lang.do

  because it seems not to be sufficient ot have a vaild checksum but the
  VAT-ID must also be checked for validity aws such on the page
  mentioned above.
